À vivre

From Alphonse Island, fly over endless blue waters heading southwest and, two hours later, you will arrive on Astove Atoll. Astove Coral House, an intimate six-room retreat, promises extraordinary snorkelling experiences.
Astove Atoll reveals a spectacular, wild landscape, made up of limestone rock and sand dunes on the horizon.
“The Wall” is a dramatic drop-off, often compared to an underwater Grand Canyon. The reef begins as a shallow plateau before plunging vertically at 90 degrees, going from shallow depths to over 1,000 metres within a very short distance. This “Wall” is renowned as one of the best diving and snorkelling sites in the world.

Layout

Arranged around a central courtyard, the six recently renovated rooms are charming, comfortable and well equipped.
Astove Coral House serves cuisine inspired by Seychellois Creole flavours, with fresh fish taking centre stage.
The sundowner is a cherished moment, enjoyed most evenings on the beach, bringing everyone together to share the highlights of the day.
Astove Coral House is closed from May to October.

For your children

Children are welcome from the age of 6.

Rooms

All six rooms have a private bathroom and air conditioning, providing comfortable accommodation in one of the most remote places on earth.

Activities offered

Staying at Blue Safari directly contributes to the Island Conservation Society, but for a more immersive experience, it's highly recommended to take part in activities such as turtle patrols, manta ray monitoring, or beach clean-ups.
Thanks to the rich marine life around the atolls, fly fishing and diving at Astove Atoll rank among the best in the world. Birdwatching enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy, given the diversity of bird species present on the atoll.
Few divers have explored Astove in recent years, making the local marine wildlife curious and more inclined to approach divers.
Astove is particularly renowned for its “Astove Wall” - a sheer drop-off that plunges from 1-2 metres to over 50 metres within a short distance. The rare divers who have explored this site consider it one of the best dive spots in the world. Here you'll encounter an impressive variety of reef fish, pelagic fish, large predators and tiny macro creatures. The wall is covered in a forest of gorgonians and soft corals in vivid colours that extend down to considerable depths. The strong population of sea turtles guarantees memorable encounters.
You can also count on some of the most experienced fly fishing guides in the Seychelles.
